Why are you doing the show?<\/h3>\n<p>Probably some of each of those, but mostly because I write for a living, and therefore it\u2019s my job to get my work out to the people who want to hear it. If I can do that effectively with a podcast, and that grows my audience, it lets me continue to entertain as my job for that much longer.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"whathaschangedthemostinyourrecordingsetupsinceyoustarted\">What has changed the most in your recording setup since you started?<\/h3>\n<p>Everything! As I became more seasoned at my job, and found a little success, I replaced microphones, moved to an office space so I could quit recording out of my bedroom closet, and even scored a full sound booth for free from a recording studio remodel a few years back!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"dodownloadnumbersmattermattertoyouorisaudienceengagementkey\">Do download numbers matter matter to you? or is audience engagement key?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes and yes. \u00a0Download numbers help gauge what works in my podcasting, and audience engagement is really the point of the whole endeavor.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"howhasorhaspodcastinghelpedcreateopportunitiesforyou\">How has or has podcasting helped create opportunities for you?<\/h3>\n<p>No question about it. \u00a0I had <a href=\"http:\/\/scottsigler.com\/earthcore\">EARTHCORE<\/a>, my first novel that was professionally edited, ready to go but without a publisher in early 2005. Since it was a tight, clean story, I started to podcast it. \u00a0The success I found with <a href=\"http:\/\/scottsigler.com\/earthcore\">EARTHCORE<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/scottsigler.com\/ancestor\">ANCESTOR<\/a> (the novel that followed) was very important to getting my Random House deal.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"whatadvisewouldyougiveanewpodcastersothattheykeepgoing\">What advise would you give a new podcaster so that they keep going!<\/h3>\n<p>Record your first four episodes before you ever podcast a single one. \u00a0That way you\u2019ll have consistency for at least a month, which is a big key to success. \u00a0If folks like what you\u2019re doing, they\u2019ll immediately want more. \u00a0If you don\u2019t have it, they might not stick around until you do. However, once you hook them with several great episodes, they\u2019ll keep coming back even if you have an off week here and there.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>And he has another one coming out!
